Methods: We randomized IBD patients' appointments to in-person, video-assisted virtual, or telephone and subsequent appointments to the alternate style of visit in a single-center study in Victoria, Canada.

Background And Aims: An appendectomy for appendiceal inflammation has been suggested to ameliorate the clinical course of patients with ulcerative colitis [UC]. In contrast, for Crohn's disease [CD] an inverse association has been suggested with a higher incidence of CD and worse prognosis after appendectomy. The aim of this study was to analyse the clinical relevance of an inflamed appendix in CD patients undergoing ileocaecal resection [ICR].

Objective: Braak's hypothesis states that Parkinson's disease (PD) originates in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and similar associations have been established for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and cerebrovascular diseases (CVD). We aimed to determine the incidence of GI syndromes and interventions preceding PD compared with negative controls (NCs), AD and CVD.

Design: We performed a combined case-control and cohort study using TriNetX, a US based nationwide medical record network.

Background: The aim of this study was to examine the association between appendectomy and advanced colorectal neoplasia (aCRN) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Methods: Inflammatory bowel disease patients diagnosed in Denmark in the period 1977 to 2017 were identified from the Danish National Patient Registry. Inflammatory bowel disease patients who underwent appendectomy were matched with up to 10 IBD patients without appendectomy and followed until aCRN, death, or emigration.
